I would like to create and update workspaces via Api and to add users to the spaces.

Is there a way to do this with the API?

 Thanks,

  You can use https://developers.podio.com/doc/space-members/add-member-to-space-1066259

  You can find this and all other API operations in the API reference documentation: https://developers.podio.com/doc

  All the best,

  Is it possible to create new Podio users through the API?

  Thank you!

  Hi Sarah,

  As I wrote above you can add members to a space via the API. The members will have to create their own user accounts as a part of that process. It's not possible to automate the creation of users.

  All the best,

  Dear Andreas,

  Thank you for your timely response.

  The goal is to keep Podio user data in sync with an external web app's user data, including the creation of new users. External users can be added to Podio through email invitation by manually entering email addresses from within a space. Is it possible to automate this email submission for the creation of external users? If not, then a new approach will be investigated.

  Thank you again,

  Sarah

  Hi Sarah,

  Yes, you can automate the invitation sending via the API using the specific API operation I linked to. It'll work for both internal and external members. You will need to have your API keys upgraded to an increased trust level as we don't open this functionality up by default. When that time comes just send an email to support@podio.com and we'll get you sorted out.

  All the best,
  
  Andreas

  Andreas,

  Thanks for your assistance! It is much appreciated.

  Are change logs and the activity streams queryable to retrieve the last timestamp of activity or possibly a list of activities? Or can this data only be obtained via the "last_updated_on" or "last_event_on"  fields on apps & items? This timestamp is necessary to compare with the external web app latest update timestamp to determine which has the most current and correct data in order to sync. Performance is a concern when trying to retrieve this data, especially if have to query each item for the timestamp data.

  Andreas,

  If it is not possible to automate the creation of users, what workflow/process do you suggest?

  1. Is there a API way to initiate "send invites" for new accounts.

  2. Is there a API way to initiate enrolling an existing user into the company network
